Bertalan Tóth, the co-leader of the Socialists (MSZP), will not seek his post again at a party congress in the autumn, the opposition politician said on Facebook on Sunday.

Party leaders assessed the results of the April 3 general election at a meeting on Saturday, Tóth said.

Tóth said he would support the Socialists’ shared work “as a team member”, heading the party’s parliamentary group after the autumn congress.
